Definitely not crisp and refreshing. It took a while to down this entire bottle myself, something that I do not plan on doing on a regular basis. I guess the saying “Once you go black, you never go back” doesn’t hold true for this beer.
As far as the tan, frothy head goes, trolling the special ed. department with my pants down usually does the trick for me…

I’m down with the tan, frothy head. Where can I get some?

First and only black IPA I have had. Doesn’t it seem like with the added body/color that this beer loses some of the “freshness” that other solid IPAs have? What I am trying to say is that the Stone 11th isn’t crisp and refreshing, something I associate with IPAs in general.
